    Oil shale, the energy source of the future. And always will be?

    The National Oil Shale Association has produced this video to describe how development of oil shale in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming could help solve our energy security and balance of payment problems. A former colleague at The Oil Shale Corporation (Tosco Corporation) and now Executive Director of NOSA, Glenn Vawter, sent me the link.  The faces in the video are all new and the production values are much higher, but the story is essentially the same as it was 30 years ago in this Tosco report, Oil Shale: Part of the Solution. Oil shale developers are facing all the same problems we did 30 years ago, plus now we have concerns about global climate change. Supportive government policies were sought then and now.
